First off, thanks for your time. Im looking at a set of gotti style wheels currently for sale that I would like to fit on my 84 carrera. The specs are front: 16x7 ET8 BS 4 and 5/16 with 2" lips. The rears are 16x9 ET-17 BS4 and 5/16 with 4" lips. Im failry sure the front will fit but the negative offset in the back is confusing me. Ive never measured a set with negative offset, is this number added to the BS? Would a set like this require spacers,rolling, ect or is it not possible at all? I would appreciate any input for this situation. Thanks, Brian

the front would be a concern too. The usual 7" front will have an ET 23.3 with a few more mm if any prefered. ET 8 will stick outboard ~0.5" more.

the usual 9" rear fit is ET15, ET -17 sits more than an inch further outboard

neither is a good fit unless you have 930 fenders
